------------------------------------

[~aljoscha] after having created a PR, do I need to do anything else? I could not find any guideline for this.

Thanks!

> When using StreamExecutionEnvironment.readFile() with FileProcessingMode.PROCESS_CONTINUOUSLY mode to monitor an S3 prefix, if there is a high amount of new/modified files at the same time, the directory monitoring process might miss some files. The number of missing files depends on the monitoring interval.
> Cause: Flink tracks which files it has read by remembering the modification time of the file that was added (or modified) last. So when there are multiple files having a same last-modified timestamp.
> Suggested solution (thanks to [[Fabian Hueske|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=25]|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=25]): a hybrid approach that keeps the names of all files that have a mod timestamp that is larger than the max mod time minus an offset. _org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.ContinuousFileMonitoringFunction_
